Fifa

An acquaintance was hosting a little business circle, a circle were entrepreneurs met and connected. Like a zoom meeting or a stokvel for business in the sense that everybody was familiar with one another. It was occasional and the people in the group were kind of his team. It wasn’t an open invitation but if you wanted to invite someone to the gathering, you could, provided they are bright enough. It was exclusive but not quite. It was controlled like an experiment. As always I was the youngest in the room. We talked business, Investments, totalitarian regimes, the fourth industrial revolution and A.I. It was wonderful. Plus the food was great and that’s just everything! Later in the day, his son came back from wherever he was with his girlfriend. I didn’t know the son but wait a minute, on closer inspection, I knew the girlfriend. Our eyes met and she recognized me too. It was Mpho, she grew up before my eyes. I was like a big brother to her. I went to her and embraced her with a hug. She was enthused to see me. I introduced myself to her boyfriend. He was a good guy, well groomed and well mannered like his father. He came from money too so that helps. He made himself at home while I conversed with Mpho. He didn’t like how I was familiar with his girlfriend. He didn’t say anything but you could sense the energy and his vibe. It didn’t help that Mpho was drop dead gorgeous. He wanted to cut me down to size and the avenue just didn’t present itself. Luckily for him something came up, his little brother was playing Fifa in his room, he saw this as an opportunity. He is younger so I understand his choice, talking about business and investments would disadvantage him. He came to me with my engagements with Mpho and asked for a game. I was hesitant. Firstly, I hadn’t played in a while and I was there for his father not him. He persisted saying “His dad won’t mind, one game won’t kill anybody” he continued “all these games are the same, as long as you can pass and shoot, you’ll be okay”, I accepted. We went to his little brother’s room and Mpho followed. He had Fifa 20. The first game I picked Bayern Munich and he picked Manchester City. I beat him 3-0 and let him watch my celebrations and highlights. I did this on purpose, I wanted to break him down psychologically. After the second goal Mpho started cheering for me and abandoned his boyfriend. It was not going according to script, I was embarrassing him. He pleaded for a rematch but this time with different teams. I could sense the urgency and desperation in his tone of voice and so I obliged him. A man deserves a chance to redeem himself. Beating him would be difficult this time around because he was determined. Plus it wasn’t like the first game was a total mismatch, he had a lot of great chances, he had more shots and more possession. I won because of a superior game-plan, I played counter-attacking football and had Manuel Neuer – that wins you games. For his do-or-die game he picked Real Madrid. I would deploy more or less the same tactics so I chose Atletico Madrid. Atleti had one of my favorite strikers in Diego Costa and of course the impenetrable Jan Oblak. He scored two quick-fire goals in the first 25 minutes but I wasn’t concerned, I knew that I’d score at least 1 goal and that’s enough, I don’t need to prove myself to this young boy. Felix got on the scoresheet and Diego Costa equalized before half-time. His early confidence disappeared like an illusion. He knew he was in trouble. He knew I had the upper hand and the momentum was with me. In the second half I scored 3 more goals without reply and won the game 5-2. He now respects me.
